I LOVE THE LIBERTARIANS – ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT TAUGHT ME.
Don’t get me wrong. I love the @Mises Institute people, especially David Gordon, @BobMurphyEcon, @ThomasEWoods, and @WalterEBlock, as well as Tom DeLorenzo, Jeff Herbener, Guido Hulsmann, @PetergKlein Mark Thornton, Roger Garrison, and of course, Hans Hoppe. I’ve learned so much from all of them.
The fact that it turns out that libertarianism in the Rothbardian model simply is not survivable, and is nothing close in moral and ethical content as well as ‘propertarian’ logic as the common, concurrent, natural law of the european people that’s evolved over the past five thousand years.
So they’re just wrong. That doesn’t mean that the WAY that they’re wrong isn’t in some way a want of a higher moral standard we wish man would aspire to. It means that we must built social, economic, and political orders with the people that exist and the incentives that texist, not those we wish existed.
It’s taken me a long time to come to terms with the difference between the aristocratic tradition I was raised in, and the middle class and upper middle class, and sometimes te pseudo-priestly class that many other thinkers have been raised in. And there are precious few of us in that anglo aristocratic tradition remaining. And so we find ourselves even further distanced from the morals of our middle and upper middle class libertarian allies, as the distance from our lower and underclass men and women race to the bottom.
It will be very difficult to reconstruct aristocratic traditions without the force of aristocratic men. Only within that reconstruction are tolerable the follies of the middle and lower classes – especially the talking classes that seek attention and tatus by non-performative means.
So in the end we must take responsibility for the silly and less able people whose traditions prohibit the responsibility necessary to produce the luxury of their follies.
There is no alternative to rule of law by the natural law of sovereignty reciprocity truth duty excellence beauty before face, self, family and clan, by test the natural law, commonality it’s negativa findings of the court, and concurrency in our positiva choices for commons. Its the optimum evolutionary velocity for those who are able.
And for those that are unable, unwilling, and immoral, evolution has no mercy and will have no mercy upon us for our undue tolerance.
Someone must be responsible.
Or no one is.
Cheers.
